Of Rage and Redemption: The Art of Oswaldo Guayasamín closes Wednesday the 20th at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery.

This landmark exhibition presents the work of one of the most highly regarded Latin American artists of the twentieth century, Ecuadorian painter and graphic artist Oswaldo Guayasamín (1919–1999). You can see more work from this exhibition on Art Museum Touring.com ((link...)).

The first exhibit of its kind in the United States in more than fifty years, and the first scheduled stop on the Vanderbilt-organized national tour the exhibition covers each of Guayasamín’s major periods—his early paintings that reflect the plight of the indigenous peoples of the Andes, his more mature work that addresses human suffering in the context of war and injustice, and, finally, the paintings of his last period that embody the artist’s search for reconciliation after a life of fighting injustices.

His work reminds me of Goya's and of course Picasso's Guernica.
